Save Energy Now Utility Partnerships

In order to reduce industrial energy intensity and use, the Industrial Technologies Program (ITP) is forming partnerships with states, utilities, vendors, suppliers, trade associations and other stakeholders. The partnerships serve to increase ITP's reach to industry and drive energy efficiency investments throughout the industrial sector. The ITP Partnerships Fact Sheet (July 2011) summarizes activities that are currently being undertaken in order to build a supportive market environment and establish lasting local infrastructure for continuous energy improvement.

With highly volatile energy prices, utility companies and their customers find themselves in an uncertain business climate. ITP provides a variety of tools and resources that utilities can use to expand energy efficiency and energy services offerings to their industrial customers. These tools and resources are to be used by utilities to expand energy efficiency and energy services offerings to their industrial customers. ITP offers many of these tools and resources free of charge. ITP needs the help of local utilities to encourage industrial energy conservation projects in order to enhance national energy savings. DOE has spent decades researching, developing, and deploying energy efficiency technologies and information resources. This site helps bring these experiences and discoveries to utilities and their industrial customers.
